This study proposes and assesses the repeatability of a new tool, namely the Modular Footwear Setup (MFS), to assess the effects of midsole modifications on lower\u2010limb joint kinematics and in\u2010shoe pressure measurements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The MFS uses a micro\u2010hook\u2010and\u2010loop fastening system and a custom alignment device to enable fast and reliable midsole attachment\/detachment to\/from the upper. Repeatability of joint kinematics and in\u2010shoe pressure parameters was tested in 10 healthy participants (5M, 5F; age\u00a0=\u00a033.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a09.2\u00a0yrs; BMI\u00a0=\u00a021.5\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.8\u00a0kg*m\n                      <jats:sup>\u22122<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) across three walking sessions. The effect of the MFS fixation method was assessed by comparing relevant biomechanical outcomes to those of a control shoe featuring the same upper and midsole. Comfort\u2010related outcomes were reported using a visual analog scale.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Statistical Parametric Mapping analysis did not identify significant differences in joint kinematics between conditions. No significant differences were observed in pressure parameters at any foot region between MFS and control, except for the peak pressure at the rearfoot. The MFS demonstrated good\u2010to\u2010excellent inter\u2010session repeatability (ICC 0.84\u20130.97) for mean and peak pressure.
